...student in Tokyo, and first published as a single book, Hwang Sun Won Tanpyonjip (literally, "Hwang Sun Won Story Collection"), in Korea in 1940. In it there are upheavals of every kind: spiritual, geological, corporeal, romantic, ethical, political. An earthquake rocks the Japanese capital, while beggars shiver in the cold. Anticipatory lovers throb with desire in the shadowed alleyways of "Trumpet Shells." In "The Offering," a young boy who kills an old red rooster for no good reason is wracked by guilt and fevers. In "Scarecrow," a dissolute husband jounces his wife's pregnant belly with a spiteful kick. Elsewhere...

I don't pull my sidearm unless I'm going to shoot to kill. That's its purpose, huh? To kill. So that's how I use it." Givens is still figuring out his own purpose, and in the compelling character study of Justified, Leonard, Yost and Olyphant have fashioned quite a weapon. I can't wait to see how they...
It’s not easy being a grad student at Harvard. While members of the College stress over cold breakfasts and the prospect of living in Mather, their comrades over at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences are paying rent, planning careers, and enduring a workload that makes Life Sci 1b look like a walk in the park. All of this means that opportunities for fun—and for community—are few and far between...
